AUTHENTICATION - About 50 years ago, when I first began collecting sports memorabilia, I discovered Jack Smalling's very first baseball autograph collectors handbook (the original was mimeographed--I still have it). Nearly every day, as a high school teenager, I would check off five-to-ten names on my list. I'd write each player (mostly retired players) a brief customized letter, enclose five 3x5 index cards or sometimes a Sporting News clipping, and also--most importantly--a self-addressed stamped envelope (stamps were a nickel in those days). Nearly every day, I would receive four or five prizes in the mailbox, sometimes with five signed cards, sometimes with just one. One out of twenty would even enclose a HOF Plaque card or a small autographed photo. The item you're considering here was one of those items. Over the years, I've sold a bunch via EBAY (I have a perfect feedback record: https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=coolstuffsports and a bunch to sports memorabilia shops. If YOU aren't 100 percent satisfied, just return my item and I'll refund your money.
